Oak Grove Community House

Oak Grove's one-story log hall served as an American Legion hut and was a Civil Works Administration project, built in the rustic style that New Deal work crews used for parks across the country. The dates are not settled: some accounts give 1932 to 1933 and others 1933 to 1934, the latter fitting a program that ran only from late 1933 into early 1934. Noel Haynes wrote the National Register registration form in March 2015, and the building was added to the Register on January 26, 2016. It sits inside the park created with it.
